Hello,
I've bought Korean Samsung Galaxy Note (KT version- SHV-E160K.
It has JB 4.2.1, rooted (already had SuperSu). It also has setting and apps from KT and some Illegal stuff.
I don't know if for example the seller didn't install some custom ROM, or he rooted this to unlock the phone (I live in Poland).
The *#1234# shows:
PDA: N7000ZSLO2
PHONE: E160SKSJLL7
MOVINAND NONE
Build Info: Wed Feb 13 16:58:41 KST 2013
However something What is "KT hidden menu" (you access it after dialing 319712358 and typing password 774632) shows a lot of Korean pre-sets and as for system:
H/W: E16.10
BOOT: E160KKKJMB1
PDA: N7000ZSLO2
PHONE: E160SKSJLL7
And the device info from settings givs us this KERNEL:
3.0.31-704944

SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 13 16:51:33 KST 2013
Now getting to the problem(s):
- can't login, or even open or install anything from Samsung.
- can't install any SD card (doesn't see it);
- can't connect to KIES;
- very quiet microphone (callers feedback).
What can I do?
I've already hard reset the phone, reintaled ps drivers, downloaded korean drivers, etc.
HELP PLS!

You could try flashing a stock firmware through Odin, seems you have not done that yet. You can search for stock firmware and guides on how to flash through Odin in XDA or other sites.

I did read a lot of posts online regarding the SHV-E160K and flashing new ROM to this one could be very unpredictable.
I also can't find any recovery that is suitable for MB1 or LL7 (to be honest I am still confused which i should look for).
On Korean samsung site there is only a upgreade file from Gingerbread to JB. I can't find anything on sammobile or elsewhere.
I just want to have Samsung stuff (like s-pen, link, etc.) and to have a functional network PC-PHONE-TV (all samsung).
Any hints?

A stock ROM is your best bet mate. Because the device you may have might be tinkered with, that is why you are experiencing weird bugs. I would try just looking for a file name for a JB firmware even with a dead link, and 'Google' it. I usually find those firmwares in 4shared.

This is my first post so hello everyone. I got a sgs2 in china (where I currently live) couple of months ago and it came with no market app. After downloading one (actually I downloaded several version several times) I always get the same problem: I launch the app, it asks me if I want to associate an account and wether I press "yes" or "no", the app shuts down. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? I would like to download certain apps (like keyboard dictionaries and other stuff) and have never been able to (I'm a huge noob and this is my first smartphone).

Are not such capitalist exccesses like Android market blocked on China phones .
jje
lol
I know that market works on devices which have it preinstalled and when i contacted samsung via email they told me that the galaxy s2 supports access to the market but does not support the market apk (?_?). It might be a firmware problem, i don't know
I may be wrong but as i understand China firmware on your phone blocks market .
jje
So if that's the case I have to change rom or firmware and get one where the market is a stock app? Would that do the trick?

Am I able to change the software/firmware from Vodafone to the Telstra one located on Sammobile. Im unable to post outside links but heres a copy of whats available on sammobile.

I got no idea how all this rooting stuff works. Im trying to learn but I can get my head around it. So sorry if any of my questions seem stupid. Thanks for all your help in advance.
No need rooting to flash.
And yes you can flash Telstra firmware on Voda model, they are the same hardwares.
You need Odin 3.04 and need samsung usb driver or if you already have it working with Kies, then no worries about driver.
Here I copied the general instruction from the UK thread:
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Launch Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Thanks mate. Am downloading the firmware now. Its gonna take 2 hours to download.
Am I meant to change any of the options in Odin3?
Thanks again.
Now that I have flashed my galaxy s3 successfully.
I keep getting the message "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"
Does anyone know what this is or can direct me into the right place? Ive done a factory reset as another thread recommended but didnt work.
Thanks
Hi everyone,
Since I aquired my Samsung Galaxy S2 i only updated software via KIES. In the last update (i think to 4.0.4) the settings always crash.
At startup and whenever i access Settings i receive the following message "Unfortunately, settings has stopped."
I tried to find a solution for this problem, but i still don't know if it is possible to solve it.
I already wiped cache and did a factory reset.
My rom info is the following:

Is my only option flash a new firmware using odin?
Or anyone knows another way?
Thanks
PS:
I dont know what is the exact kernel or firmware version tag, since i can't access the settings.
PS2:
I know there are similar posts (for Galaxy SII and SIII), but are not exactly the same problem. So i decided to create a new thread.
Hmm,post your phone exact model/country/carrier etc.Then someone can tell you which firmware you need.
I would say go back to 4.0.3,but thats cos I think 4.0.4 is total crap.
Here is the info: (I will update the first post too)

Did you ever figure it out? I am experiencing the same issue.
Unfortunately, I had to reflash my firmware.
Hi their all im matt
what it is i have the samsung galaxy s3 i9300 i bought it from carphone warehouse a while back in london (uk obviously) on sim only, so it wasnt branded etc.
Anyway shortly after a while i wanted to root it as i heard about all the benefits etc, so i used the samsung toolkit 7.0 and it rooted fine
anyway for some reason i ened up unrooting it i cannot remember why but i did, and now my device status shows as MODIFIED, and the OTA updates does seem to work as it just says searching but does nothing, ( im guessing this is because i unrooted and the device status says modified)
but before i rooted in the first place i never wrote down what firmware was on the model ( obviously the stock rom but i dont know what rom it was seen as i bought it from carphone warehouse in the uk)
but i wish to root my mobile again but also have the stock rom what came with the actual phone installed.
the rom information on my mobile is :
andorid version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: i9300XXELKC
Kernal version: 3.0.31-742798 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT SAT DEC 22 17:04:04 KST 2012
Build number JZO54K.I9300XXELKC
can anybody tell me if this is the stock rom that came on my phone when i bought it from carphone warehouse or did i do something wrong when i rooted it in the first place and its installed some other rom. as i just want the stock rom and be able to update as normal but be rooted and device status to be OFFICAL and not MODIFIED
hope somebody can help me with step-by-step instructions
thank you
I've rooted and unrooted a few times, and yes because it says modified you are unable to update. The easiest way and the way i have previously done it was download
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
and run the flash stock via Odin, this will download a stock firmware which it will then install. Follow the steps to the letter though.
Ive managed to update via kies previously and had an OTA update for it too.
The Uk unbranded firmware version is BTU, if it asks and i believe if you install XXELLA it will then update via kies.
Hi i used the samsung toolkit v7.0 like you said and ODIN loaded up and used the flash thingy but it does nothing to my mobile.
it still says
andorid version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: i9300XXELKC

in the about device.
so what firmware should be on my galaxy s3, if i bought it from carphone warehouse in uk should it be BTU or ELLA

BTU is the country code for the firmware. Basically a uk firmware has BTU on it. ELLA is the firmware version. I flashed that one and it was 06 on the selection screen from that toolkit. I managed to do firmware upgrade OTA successfully.
Now that odin has finished does it still say modified?

i loaded up Kies and now it says, the firmware i have on my s3 is not supported to recieved updates through kies
i try OTA updates and it just loads nothing happens
before i downloaded this rom i have on now, i followed all your previous intructions and i flashed 06 form the selection but it doesnt do anything to my phone
what is happening i dont understand, thank you i appreciate your time helping me to get my mobile back to normal
Im at work till 9 but I'll try and run the flasher and set mine back to stock to see if I can run the update afterwards.
Like I said ive done it before so unless they have changed something in one of the updates to ELLA it shluld bw working. Ill post again once ive done it and let you know
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
reset phone
right i heard about a csc changer and as you said before my samsung galaxy s3 should be on BTU, but it appears it wasnt, it looked like it was on XEO.
so i installed csc changer from the google play and it reset my mobile.
device status: says normal,
in download mode, everything is offical again.
but im not rooted
how do i get my mobile rooted without anything changing to custom again
not: i backed up all my apps via titanium
Im pretty sure rooting your device changes it back to modified as its flashes a new image.
Triangle away by chainfire can reset the flash counter so possibly give that a try.

Hi everyone,
after getting my phone from repair (battery was blinking). I have successfully rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5 and discovered the INSANE CHIP and SW:

Build: IMM76D.BULPG
As the device was upgraded to that version, I cannot send it rooted to repairs again because the camera doesn`t work. So and because f the Insane chip a cannot upgrade it to 4.0.4. What to do? Any ideas?
Thanks

Well the first of all, try flashing a different kernel, I've experienced the camera problem before, but after flashing Siyah kernel the problem was fixed for me, you can also try any other kernel and see what works for you. If it doesn't work, let me know and we can try other ways of fixing the problem.
I did what you sugested, but because of the INSANE chip i really don`t want to mess around a lot. So I flashed Siyah kernel and the SII doesn`t start up, but i can still come to Volume Up or Volume Down screen. All I know, that I cannot flash with original rom 4.0.4 because than will destroy the phone - wipe everything of it.
will that do the trick? LINK searching for XXLPQ
iflashed with original kernel, and the S2 woke up, but the problem still exists.
How can i find the same rom on sammobile? I did searched my operator but it is not listed there. I listed also the french ones and spanish ones and none of them is the same as mine.

If muppets like you want help include your country/or the original software version that came with the phone/the carrier you use etc.How can you expect anyone to link you up with software when you post what your on now.
Samsung can quite easily knock back your warranty if they find a rom that is not meant for the phone your sending them.They can look for signs of tinkering etc.

As I wrote in the first post

and I don`t find that specific one for my country.
COUNTRY: Slovenia
CARRIER: Vodafon (Si.mobil)
Before i have send it to warranty repair of usb connector, it had 4.0.3 (I9100BULPG_I9100SIMLP6_SIM) as it was updated via Kies. So it was updated at service, with something I cannot find.
If any more information is needed, PLEASE write it down, I will look after.

Ok, you know what, just flash stock firmware...anyone will do. Then root your device and install triangle away, wipe your binary counter and the re-flash stock firmware and delete any root files/apps you might have. That deletes all evidence that you might have rooted your device and then send it for repairs. If you don't want to, just hard brick it and they will replace it for you, providing you still have warranty?
